Come on people you seriously think a house floor cant take at least 3000 pounds with proper placement. My jacuzzi tub is 200g and does not have any extra support its sitting overtop of my dining room.

Quote:
Bathtubs are placed over additional support when built, so they can easily take the 400-600 pounds of weight. From what I've read, the limit for "anywhere" placement is a 55 gallon tank. Anything above that needs to be either placed against a retaining wall, or have additional support added. Personally, I'd call in a structural engineer if I was going to put a 180 gallon tank on a non-main floor.
This is a rediculus statment. A 55 gallon tank, ive had people who weight more then a 55 gallon tank walk all over my house. I bet you could park a car on the second floor of almost any new home.

A water bed can have 360g of water a grand piano can weight over 1000lbs and it sit on 3 tiny wooden legs.
